I wonder how it works with your setting xinput --set-prop --type=float "TSC200X touchscreen" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1.10 0.00 -0.05 0.00 1.18 -0.10 0.00 0.00 1.00 This obviously also assumes that the input events report pixel coordinates or you would have factors not close to 0.00 and 1.00. It just aligns the touch with the screen, i.e. calibrates. Or your example was incomplete. About loosing precision: there is already noise (jitter) in real-world devices so that you can't achieve subpixel precision anyways (unless your panel has a very low resolution). Please see my answer to Dmitry some mails ago. BR and thanks, Nikolaus
